The NIH is currently seeking public public comments on their draft Genomic Data Sharing Policy, which promotes sharing of large-scale human and non-human genomic data generated from NIH-funded research. Your last chance to provide comments on this draft policy is November 20, 2013.

The policy applies to all NIH-funded research that involves human and non-human genomic data produced by array-based or high-throughput sequencing technologies, such as GWAS, whole-genome, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and gene expression data, irrespective of the funding level and funding mechanism (i.e., grant, contract, or intramural support). The draft policy describes the responsibilities of investigators and institutions for the submission of non-human and human genomic data to data repositories and the secondary research use of such data as well as expectations regarding intellectual property. When data sharing involves human data, the protection of research participant privacy and confidentiality is paramount to the NIH.

The course, Essentials of Grant Administration, is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of grant administration at OHSU from the very first steps of finding funding all the way to close-out and publishing.

This “soup to nuts” course runs for two Tuesdays, May 1and May 8, progressing from initiation to completion of the grant administration effort. The course includes:

The search for funding

Introduction to pre-award topics from PPQ completion to budget preparation and just-in-time requests

Highlighted compliance with ORIO

Examination of NIH policy, SPA forms and other post-award concerns

plus Public access and publishing

A number of presenters with topic expertise from Research Development and Administration units and other areas of OHSU Research will be coming together to paint the “big picture” of grant administration.

Prerequisites: It is expected that participants have completed the Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR) module in Big Brain, attended RDA 101: Introduction to Research Administration, and have also completed Oracle Grant Accounting (OGA) previous to the course start. To enroll in Essentials of Grant Administration or any of these other courses, please visit the RATE Courses web page or contact Margaret Gardner.
